HAIR CLASP WITH PIN.

Application filed August 5, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, REINHARD Hnijssnnn, a citizen of the German Republic, residing at Cassel, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair Clasps with Pins to be Stuck Through the Hair, of which the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to a hair clasp which consists of a buckle secured in its position on the head by means of a pin stuck through the hair so that the clasp cannot get loose when the head is shaken or moved strongly.- The pin when being inserted in the clasp grips a large coil of hair which is con'ipressed when the pin is being turned.

With this object in View the free end of the pin is bent whereby the insertion of the pin in, the buckle is facilitated and the dropping out of the pin is prevented after it has been turned in its position in the buckle. The shaft of the pin is preferably curved in conformity with the curvature of the buckle and it is further indented at the points where it is located in the buckle. The pin is of rectangular cross section.

In order that the invention may be clearly understood, I shall proceed to describe the same with reference to two forms of constructions shown by way of example in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figs. 1 and 2 show in perspective views the buckle and pin in two different forms of construction.

Fig. 3 is a geometric View of Fig. 2, the arrow being inserted in the buckle.

The clasp is composed of the buckle 1 and of an arrow 3. The buckle is ornamented and it has holes 2 in the edges at the small sides through which the arrow 3 is to be stuck. Although one arrow will be generally sutlicient to hold the clasp on the hair more arrows than one could be used with one buckle.

The holes 2 in the edges could the suppressed in which case the arrow would be stuck through the open spaces 4.- of the open work ornament of the buckle.

$erial No. 490,124.

Tn order to secure the arrow 3 in its posltlon the end 5 to be stuck into the hair is bent at an angle and thickened at 6 like the point of an arrow or of a lance. The pin 3 can further be curved as shown in Fig 2. The buckle 1 is placed on the hair and the p1n3 is inserted with its bent end 5 either through one of the holes 2 or through one of the apertures l of the buckle 1 so that a large mass of hair is gripped between the inner surface of the buckle 1 and the pin 3 which hair is clamped in when the pin is turned into the position 3 (Fig. 3) so that the clasp is securely held on the hair.

Although, owing to the elasticity of its material, the pin 3 can be easily turned when it is inserted in the buckle, it is advisable to indent the pin at the points 7 and 8 which engage with the holes 2 when the pin is inserted in the buckle.

I claim An improved hair clasp of the type in which the pin with arrow shaped point is inserted through slits at both ends ofthe clasp comprising in combination with a clasp which is slightly curved and has a slit at either end a pin with heart-shaped point bent at the same curvature as the clasp so that if it "is inserted into the slits of the clasp in such position that its curvature is in opposite direction to the curvature of the clasp, this clasp is automatically compressed and a thick coil of hair is gripped by the pin so that the clasp adopts automatically the original shape again and the coil of hair is compressed if the pin is turned of 180 so that the pin is securely held in the clasp as it can be removed only after having been turned again of 180.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
